Hi Team,
Request your help with the below queries.
Regarding target-local-date-time status item https://github.com/apple/device-management/blob/release/declarative/status/softwareupdate.pending-version.yaml#L59. The value reported is not the same sent to the device, looks like it is being converted into UTC and sent. Please confirm if this value sent here will be in UTC always, the github link mentions it will be local date time value and does not mention that i will be in UTC. In the softwareupdate.enforcement.specific schema it is clearly mentioned we should not use any timezone. Please find below a sample payload sent to the device and the status report from the device. Device time zone is IST ("Asia/Kolkata")
Target local date time is property for iOS is not matching the schema. The property is "softwareupdate.target-local-date-time" instead of "target-local-date-time".
Payload:
